In today’s technology-dependent world, the importance of Cyber Security continues to come to the forefront. Cyber attacks are a threat at all levels, from individuals, to government agencies, to businesses of all sizes and industries. At NC TECH’s 2019 State of Technology Conference, we will explore Cyber Security and how it impacts all facets of our lives, and look to future trends and how we can prepare ourselves.

More than 600 security, IT and business leaders from across sectors and functional roles will gather May 10 at our flagship tech conference for a day of engaging keynotes, interactive panel discussions, a fast paced pitch competition from tech startups and an exhibit showcase. A pre-conference reception will be held the evening prior, on May 9.

CLEARPASS OVERVIEW
From IoT to an always-on mobile workforce, organizations are more exposed to attacks than ever before. With Aruba ClearPass, customers get agentless visibility and dynamic role-based access control for seamless security enforcement and response across wired and wireless networks. Identifying who and what connects to the network is the first step to securing an enterprise. Control through the automated application of wired and wireless policy enforcement ensures that only authorized and authenticated users and devices are allowed to connect to the network. At the same time, real-time attack response and threat protection is required to secure and meet internal and external audit and compliance requirements.

With a built-in context-based policy engine, RADIUS, TACACS+, non-RADIUS enforcement using OnConnect, device profiling, posture assessment, onboarding, and guest access options, ClearPass is unrivaled as a foundation to Identify, Enforce and Protect network infrastructure of any size.
